From 842a9ae08a25671db3d4f689eed68b4d64be15b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jouni Malinen Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2015 12:54:21 +0200 Subject: bridge: Extend Proxy ARP design to allow optional rules for Wi-Fi This extends the design in commit 958501163ddd ("bridge: Add support for IEEE 802.11 Proxy ARP") with optional set of rules that are needed to meet the IEEE 802.11 and Hotspot 2.0 requirements for ProxyARP. The previously added BR_PROXYARP behavior is left as-is and a new BR_PROXYARP_WIFI alternative is added so that this behavior can be configured from user space when required. In addition, this enables proxyarp functionality for unicast ARP requests for both BR_PROXYARP and BR_PROXYARP_WIFI since it is possible to use unicast as well as broadcast for these frames. The key differences in functionality: BR_PROXYARP: - uses the flag on the bridge port on which the request frame was received to determine whether to reply - block bridge port flooding completely on ports that enable proxy ARP BR_PROXYARP_WIFI: - uses the flag on the bridge port to which the target device of the request belongs - block bridge port flooding selectively based on whether the proxyarp functionality replied Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen Signed-off-by: David S.
